Derby County's loss against Forest leaves them with only one point from the past three games

Manager Frank Lampard says Derby County must rediscover their "quality" after a run of just three league wins in 12 games has seen their Championship promotion prospects falter.

Monday's defeat against fierce local rivals Nottingham Forest consigned the Rams to back-to-back defeats, also was also a missed opportunity to climb above Bristol City into the final Championship play-off place.

Lampard's side had the majority of possession after Yohan Benalouane's second-minute opener but only managed two shots on target at the City Ground.

In the 12 matches starting from the 0-0 reverse fixture draw with Forest at Pride Park on 17 December, Derby have picked up just 14 points, with only one point and one goal in their past three matches.

"We have a good bunch in there and nothing is for the want of trying," said the former Chelsea and England midfielder. "They are giving everything.

"But when the quality is down - and we know they have quality - that is a back-to-basics thing. It is work, reviewing the games and seeing how we can improve.
